AT one time the maSher'S strong point
was to get as near the front of the car as
possible in order to pass to the box the
fares of lady passengers. This gave
him the much coveted opportunity to
display his grace, form and polished
manners. And it broke his heart, too,
when formidable rival appeared in the
shape of those brass trOughs, which run
the length of the car to the money box.
He was forced to resort to other
methods, and they are many and unique.

These Washers are not all young men,
but, on the contrary. some of them are
quite ''relic" and eligible to the shelf.
Recently one of these antique candi-
dates for a spoiled cOuntenance, who is
in the habit of forcing the attention or
notice of any pretty girl he sees to his
own ugly mug, received dose that sat
On his stomach like bug on hot sur
face. He boarded a car near the state
house, and at once threw his basilIsk
eye on two modest, but extremely pretty
girls, daughters Of one of ST. Paul's
prominent citizens. A rOSeate hue APP
peared on each fair face, and naturally
it pleased the old shark immensely.
Presently one of them whispered some
thing to the other, and they riveted
their gaze on his feet. He drew them
under the seat as far as he could, but
their eyes never wayered. His cOrnS
commenced fuSilade of aches. and a
king buniOn that had lain dormant for
some time regained some of his old fire
and tried to force himself through the
shoe. The old chump could not longer
bear it, and suddenly left more empti-
ness i'll the seat than had been there be-
fore.

scope discloSes a number of forms of
animal lire, and the same is true of
water from wells in the vicinity of
dwelling houses and which are so
numerous in st. Paul. These animalcul8
are divided into different classes by
scientists, the most common being termed
rotaloria from the appearance they
present resembling the turning of a
wheel as they rapidly vibrate. They
have one stomach, teeth and jaws to
supply their wants and some species
have at their extremity tail or
sucker by which they affiX themselves
to eXtraneOuS substances. They multi
ply by eggs but some species bring
forth the young alive and both animals
and eggs possesses extraordinary tenac-
ity of life. The animal has the power
of shutting itself up in its cone or shell
and shoveS out a number of fine horns
supposed to be feelers and eight little
red spots on each animal serves as eyes.
One of these animals lays four eggs
day and after two days the offspring
follows the example of its parent, so
that in ten days family of 100000 is
the result, in eleven days 100000, and
in twelve days 100000 constitute a
family that wages relentless warfare
in search of SuStenance against the
human race.

HOW TO DRESS THE HAIR.
Don't Follow a Fashion, But Study
so What Is Becoming.

The question of dressing the hair be-
comingIy is one that agitates many
feminine breasts, and is understood by
comparatively few women. The idea of
adopting certain style of couture
merely because it happens to be the
fashion is ridiculous. There should be
no such thing as fashion in this important
matter. A woman ought to dress her
hair according to her face, but in nine
cases out of ten this is precisely what
she does not do. Fixed rules cannot of
course be laid down as to the proper
procedure in hair-dreSsing, but there are
several general precepts that may be
followed by young and old with
impunity. For instance, a long,
harrow face demands that the
hair be somewhat pulled at the
sides so that proper harmony
of proportion be maintained. A con-
trary course should be observed if the
cOuntenance be round and full. Moth
ing can be more ill-adapted to short,
fat face than bushy curls surrounding
it. Yet fat women nearly always ar
range their hair in curlS and putfS eX-
aggerated to degree corresponding to
the amount of adjacent adipoSe tissue.
A slight crimping of the hair relieves
otherwise severe outlines and is
always becoming; but there's
a great difference between soft waves
and buShy curls. Above all things hold
in abiect adherence that terrible and
hideOus article known as front"
There never was a false front wig or
semi-wig that did not by its very appear
ance proclaim its true name to the
world. TO mistake false front for the
wearer's own hair is just as possible as
to mistake a wooden leg or a glass
eye for real flesh and blood. A
false front is glaring fraud TO
which no self-respecting woman will
lend herself. If she has the misfortune
to be bald let her buy an entire wig and
make no secret of its possession. But
to deliberately fasten back her own
locks to pin upon her forehead a stiff,
ungainly row of curlS or bangs cut from
somebody else's head constitutes an en-
hibitiOn of bad taste that amounts al
most to a crime. The greatest beauty
would be heavily weighted by a false
front, while to an ugly woman it is a
milestone.

Fetid catarrh is a destruction of Sc
.rOuS glands in the mucous membrane;
they fail to perform their functions and
mucous secreted by the remaining glands
rapidly forms crusts and scabS, which
are imprisoned in the narrowed parts of
canals. and pent UP beneath the turbin-
ated bones, no wonder they decompose
and fetor is established. This is fear
fully -aggravating form of the disease.

waste your time and money, expert

is hopeless we say so at once. In all
medicable diseases we guarantee cure,
